Jobseekers – Looking for Work? We’re Here to Help!

At CoOptions Supported Employment, we help people with learning disabilities find
jobs that suit them. Here’s how it works below:

  • Getting Started

> You need to be referred by Social Services to join our service.
> Once referred, we will meet you in a place that feels comfortable for you.
> You can bring someone with you if that makes you feel more at ease.

  • Getting to Know You

> We take time to understand your interests and what kind of work you’d like to do.
> This is called vocational profiling.

  • Getting Ready for Work

We’ll help you with things like:
> Writing your CV.
> Learning interview skills.
> Finding safe and easy ways to get to work.
> Making any adjustments you might need.

  • Finding the Right Job

> We match you with jobs that fit your skills and interests.
> We visit workplaces to make sure they are right for you.
> We can help you apply for jobs—or we can apply for you if that’s what you prefer.

  • At Your Interview

> If you get an interview, we can practise with you beforehand.
> We can also come with you to the interview if it helps.

  • Starting Your New Job

> We stay in touch to make sure everything is going well.
> If you need support, like training or learning new skills, we’ll be there to help.

  • Other Options

If you’re not ready for a job yet, we can help you:
> Try work placements or work experience.
> Learn about different jobs and find out what you like.

You’re in Charge!

You decide what works best for you. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

“Just because you have a disability, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a job. Before starting at CoOptions I had no confidence and was just with my mum 24/7. In my role as Peer Ambassador I work independently but get support when I need it. Having a job has really boosted my confidence”.
